John, I had nothing to do with Voyd or Pink Triangle, I also not a big fan of Audio Note UK.
Mono cartridges is good, in fact I feel that Mono Cartridges IS A MUST for anyone who do analog more of less serious. Defiantly a second arm is more conveni...

Dear Paul,Generally I can say a lot lower sound floor, You hear more detail with less compression. Very open. I compared it with Mayajima Shilabe and Ortofon Royal N, with Ortofon 12", SME 3012 and TW Raven tone arms. As you see I'm using "heavy" arm...

My Ortofon T3000 SUT is wound with "20-9s" silver (or some such shit) over some sort of super-duper core, all wrapped in Mu metal. Since it is designed from scratch to partner with the Ortofon MC3000 II cartridge I use, I would really hope it "works...

Axel:One wonders how much one must pay to get it right from the start...Actually, the "sagging" cantilever is not peculiar to the Jubilee or the Windfeld, but it has been a long-standing problem for Ortofon on a number of their more expensive cartrid...

Since I left with only 3 arm for my TT I asked myself what arm I will use for my mono cartridge. I would like to have 12” arm an arm that is comfortable. I have an old 3009 but it is original vision Mk1. The collectors love it but I do not find...

After more than 10 years of using the Micro Seiki MAX-282 tonearm I realized that if it is my second stereo arm then why I presume it shall have Second Sound? I have properly performing mono and stereo arms and I have a dally arm. The Daily arm is a ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] So, I would call Jubilee as a noise highlighting cartridge. (BTW, there is one subject regarding it that I need to look further ….) [/quote]
This is VERY interesting phenomena that I am trying to decipher but so far unsuc...

I started in hi-fi with LPs and I have never stopped using them as my principal source for hi-fi. Some time ago I decided that master tape was better than vinyl, but I could not afford to go that route; so I settled on the next best thing: a cartrid...

Where those EdgarHorn Titans with the Edgar’s woofers? I ask because I am very concerned about the LF response. The Shelter 901 has phenomenal bass in my view, even now. In fact all my system/room in a way “calibrated” from the bass that Shelte...

Good afternoon Romy! I'm Pat Mattucci, and I'd like to respond to your post.How interesting you would post a response to my humble question to an obscure little group on my birthday, of all days. I'm honored. I also happen to be from the Philadelphia...

Hi Alex,I am sorry, what you claim can not be. No cap is going to separate bass instruments better.The brilliance of the 834p circuit is that the EQ also uses the miller capacitance of the tubes in a very brilliant way. The power supply caps are very...

I have compaired the Ortofon Jubilee to the MC3000II. The former is more "unctuous", "viscous", "smooth", or "suave", and easier on recordings, per se. The latter, although very tape-like in balance, attack and transparency, is less ...

Adrian, I am cynical enough to take seriously news of QC issues from any manufacturer. I heard about sagging cantilevers with the 3000, way back when, but went ahead, and it worked out for me. But I would certainly do my homework before I shelled o...

I juts got home, put a record to play and suddenly discovered that my SPU has it’s cantilever bent 90 degree and then even twisted vertically. It was perfectly fine last night!!! I have no idea what kind forced what applied to it and particularly how...
|

Since Sound in new home is mostly set I kind lost interest to do anything “project-wise”. I play my music and I gradually tune ingredients to get the sonic mixture that I accustom to. Last two week I was slowly playing with my analog setup. Since...

The regular visitors of my site know about my recent frustrations with my new Ortofon SPU cartridge for my “mono tonearm”: Is it all that Ortofon SPU can do? Today I made some alternations that more or less cured the audio problem and I decided ...
|

i agree that there are more audiophile cartridges around than the dl103. but except maybe for the ortofon classic, they all have non-spherical stylii. i am sure that a lot of the "air", "space", "bloom" etc. of today's cartridges is actually distorti...

I, after being sick and tired form the Denon 102 misery, got the Ortofon Mono needle. I was under impression that Ortofon Mono was true mono cartridge with one coil. However, when I opened it up to mount it’s insert on my “Chernobyl Spinnaker” tonear...

Hi, [quote user="Romy the Cat"]Eventually!!!! Here is THE subject that actually worth to talk about: how the 103 enrich your sonic prejudices. Be advised that I use the phrase “sonic prejudices” in highly positive light. May I ask you what you like i...

Well I'll 'fess up to the possible reason that this thread has had so many hits, I linked it to a thread on another site that has a few 103 owners (and remember for every owner there are many reading/waiting to become disciples due to the "...

It was kind of strange news:

“This year we are very proud and honoured to introduce our new High End cartridge MC Anna, dedicated to the virtuoso op...

Sorry Romy I should have said output voltage and Internal impedance, DC resistance. For example the Ortofon Cadenza Black has an Internal impedance DC resistance of 5 Ohms and Output voltage at 1000 hz, 5cm/sec. 0,3 mV ...

The whole presentation of sound is very different with your and my file. Your file is very lush sounding. It is very pleasant but a bit too euphoric for THIS music. My file is much more dynamic (if comes from my transformer) and in the way this dynam...

This is the point, Paul: is it a self-propelled, self-ass-licking FR7 club or does this cart has any merit?Old vs. new, new vs. old...in the world of planned obsolescnce I do not know how to navigate.There is a myriad of models, but what they are wor...

N-set. I am sorry to hear that you have in any way been itouched by the greedy, filthy, heartless assholes who keep coming up with justifications for wars. May thay live forever where everyone is exactly like they are.
As for the SUT, this seems l...

I also built one. It does not have enough gain for a low output MC cartridge. You need a step up transformer. I use an Ortofon T30....
|

Actually this picture doesn't say much with the cantilever and stylus unloaded. Can you take another picture with it on a record surface, with the VTF set in the range Ortofon suggests. And take it edge on from the outside of the platter? You kno...

|
Adrian, it was my thinking that if I could have whatever I wanted, then I would have a hot-rodded Studer and a big library full of 15 ips master tapes and 1st generation dubs. But since I could not figure out/afford the tape thing, I went with the n...

The Windfeld apparently suffers from production inconsistency. I'd avoid it. Ortofon have just released a new cartridge, the A90, which looks promising.I agree about the Decca Reference, I recently heard one in an SME 312 arm and it was very good, no...
|
|
It's probably as good or even worse than Acoustic Solid, Acoustic Signature , VPI , Teres , Galibier and army of heavy TT's you don't have to rob a bank and can buy third hand for fraction of original price. My undersanding is there weren't many heav...
